Actually, let's look at the phrase....from Thomas Jefferson's Letter to the Danbury BaptistsI'm not sure how you can read that as anything other than Jefferson believing that there was a Seperation based on the 1st ammendment even if the exact phrase isn't there. And since the 1st ammendment was partly based on Jefferson's own work, I'd give him the edge over you over correct interpretation.Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.
Or would you like to share how Jefferson was wrong and the 1st ammendment doesn't create a wall of seperation?
Do we ever get any newbies around here who AREN'T dribbling idiots? ::sigh::
